When you visit Germany on your next trip, don't forget to bring some traditional German foods and drinks back home to your friends and family. Germans don't only know how to make great beer & sausages, but are producing super tasty sweets and chocolates as well. And of course the countless herb teas.

What's your favourite German Snack?
There's no reihgt choise there all good
Pick up's and Hungarian Chips (Chipsfrisch)
German Bread & a Butterbretzel 😍
I'll go with a hat
@@raaiderz They are good yeah but Lorenz makes the best chips here 😉
Im surprised you're not 1 million subs. You make so good content.
Glad you think so 😄 One day we'll get there^^
You are hilarious 🤣 ❤
I am a big fan of three types of snacks in Germany that you don't see elsewhere: cherry juice, cherry syrup, cherry flavoured sweets. Quitten (quince) jelly, quitten syrup etc. This is incredibly delicious and not available in other countries, and Waldmeister(Sweet Woodruff). This appears as syrup to mix with water to make a long drink, or as a flavour of sweets. It is extremely nice and I haven't seen it outside Germany .
Not 100% sure what type of cherry flavoured candy you're referring too but all of it is available in Austria too. ;)
@@MultiFireflie Thank you. That's good to know. One more reason to visit Austria.
@@rosiecesareo8092 You're welcome and yes, we've got some pretty nice places too ;)
I would say Waldmeister is not found in other places, not even in Austria. I've seen quince products in other countries, like Spain, Mexico, and the US. If you're ever there, look for membrillo. A Turkish coworker once told me, you could find it in Turkish markets, too.
@@MigGa-yu5xv With all due respect. Pretty sure I know what I've seen and bought here in my country :)
Riesen looks like Belgian Chocotoff. Very chewy indeed.
Knopper can be bought at Aldi everywhere (I suppose. In my country at least). They are great indeed.
Wait isn't knop per swiss? In Switzerland it can be found in all supermarkets not just Aldi.
I get it in Lidl, in Slovakia. Really lovely and rich waffers ;*
@@spolch9482 Noooo!
Knoppers is from the same brand like "Storcks Riesen" Storck, August Storck and they made other great sweets like Werthers Echte (Werther is the foundingtown in Westfalen Bielefeld area, Halle/Westfalen, known for a international Tennis tournament) Toffifee, Dickmann s, Lachgummi etc pp.
But the company now is bassed in my Hometown the wonderful Berlin. Neighbor from Flohr Otis Elevator Company in Flohrstr. Reinickendorf.
Like Haribo in fruitgums a Champions League Winner in choclate und Cakes, in my opinion.
I used to eat so many Saure Zungen back in the days. Until my mouth was full of blisters. So worth it.
i also always eat too many and then my tongue hurts for days 😅
This is the way
We get Moam, knoppers, reisen and lebkuchen in the UK, thanks to having Lidl and Aldi supermarkets 😁 Stollen is also a favourite of mine and is very much a Xmas tradition in our house ❤
In most of Europe, especially western and southern Europe, you will find Lidl and Aldi supermarket that sell you German food (sometimes even in German packages!) and are a good source for German sweets and German bread (an important omission in your video). Living in Portugal as a German since some months, I appreciate to have Aldi and Lidl nearby.
I'm glad you enjoyed your recent travels and are back home safe :).
Only Radical Living can make even the sponsored section of the video super interesting and super funny! 😂 Thank you for making this great video! I always love to know more about Germany. Maybe you can also make a video about the best traditional German recipes.
Great suggestions. Radical! It makes miss Germany. Glad to see you on your home turf. Viel Spaß/Erfolg!
I just love your channel! Great sense of humour! 😄
I love this channel. I hope to visit my best friend in Bonn this year and buy all these snacks 🤣Yummy yum! Best wishes from England
So glad! 😄 You should! and it's all so much cheaper than in the UK^^
Welcome and have fun 🇩🇪
Love your videos ❤ I am English but living near Freiburg, Germany. Just wanted to tell you something about the way British people drink tea; they have it MUCH stronger than Germans do. That's why we drink it with milk, because it would be quite bitter without. One of the things I had to let go when I came to live here, was my tea habit, because despite all the variety of teas available, none of them can pick you up like a good old fashioned cuppa.
Agreed
In the north of Germany there is a huge tea culture, whenever I drank It I found the flavour/strength even more intense than the tea we drink here in the UK. It’s a black tea called Ostfriesen-Tee, you can find it in any German supermarket. Add rock sugar, steep it for 3-5 minutes and then add cream (not milk) - it can be a whole lovely ceremony and I highly recommend 😊
Thats nonsense, because we have our own tea culture on the north coast (Ostfriesland) with strong tea and cream or milk too. Just because they don't do this where you lived doesn't mean they drink tea everywhere in germany like this. Any why are you forced to let go of your habits??? There are pretty many good tea stores in germany with around 300 variations of tea, you can also order it online from every part of the world. Such a nonsense.
@@kaddy0306 calm down love!
So, the standard teas sold in the supermarkets in the UK, are stronger blends than in the rest of the world?
Once I had a friend visiting from UK by car, he drove through Germany and bought some pastry with some sort of German sausages at the gas station, he gave it to me as a gift, it was so delicious I can only imagine how a proper German sausage tastes, ppl should definitely buy food as gifts.
Немачка храна је најогавнија икада јбт , очигледно немаш мајку ни бабу Србкињу да ти кува укусну нашу храну
I love and miss zwiebelwurst from Germany Saturday market. Thank you for this video. It brought many happy memories from my time in Germany.
Danke für die Empfehlungen. Die Snacks passen zu meinen Enkelkindern, die Teesorten passen zur ganzen Familie.
Du leistest gute Arbeit. Alles Gute für dich. 💫💫💫💫
Riesen seems so mouthwatering 🥰
My favorite lebkuchen definitely is from Lebkuchen Schmidt 🤤, especially the Schwarze-Mini-Elise! Love it!
Actually, my boyfriend sends every year for Christmas a box from Lebkuchen Schmidt to my parents in Chile, they love them too!
Also super super good and my favorite is the marzipan from Niederegger Lubeck. They have a vegan one which is just perfect for my taste 🤭
Ahhh you also know of Lebkuchen Schmidt.😮
Ive been ordering from that place since my last visit to Nürnberg 3 years ago when I stumbled on it.
Their Bratapfel and Schoko Cashew Traum are my top favorites and I always order the large holiday chests❤
You should also take AHOI Brause with you!
thanks for the tips
any time^^
my favorite is marzipan kartoffeln. simple and so good! thanks for the video.
The peanut snack is basically corn puffs covered in peanut butter. It's delicious 😋
But unsweet peanut butter😢
No this is a salty snack
What’s it name ?
My god. So many good snacks from my childhood that I had completely forgotten... Must go to Germany soon.
I loved your tea stash! The Meßmer tea boxes are great, I've been to three different parts of Germany over the last few months and each time I've bought some meßmer tea boxes back with me 😁 I have a German friend living here in England with me and each time I've saved some to give to her 😁 great video as always ☺️ And I love the slidy desk too, it looks very fancy!
My favorite is the Rooibos Karamell from Meßmer! ☕🇩🇪😋
I really appreciate this video thank you I can’t wait to visit Germany one day
Very helpful and insightful, thanks!
You're very welcome!
I tool home wine, beer and lots of snacks! My Friends loved them! One of my friends even decided to visit Germany! He brought back a lot of snacks too! Great Food there!
You covered a good amount of veryyy German snacks 😋 also, I LOVEEE the huge variety of Prinzen Rolle in Germany !! When I moved here, I made a whole video about them because they are so good 😂
I can buy almost every German snack in the video from my local supermarket deep in Bulgarian provinces. We fought two world wars together- we love Germany. ❤
Didn't know that (both).... but pretty good you can also have it 😎❤
You lost two world wars😂😂😂 still i love Germany and Bulgaria
Here in the Czech Republic you can buy some of these as well. They are just called a bit different. Especially the fluffy peanut corn snack is very popular. Křupky!
That peanut snack is basically flips/smoki from Bosnia/Serbia/Croatia, I've been eating those for the past 30+ years, and its delicious!
I was about to comment the same thing haha, Smoki is the best!
I'm eating it for the past 40+ years and I'm pretty sure it existed before my time 🤣
Indeed very popular also in Czechia, I have been eating those ~30 years too.
@@hellosunshine88 Bosnian Gold Flips is the best.
Chrumky
You can get most of the stuff in Hungary too , "lebkuchen" is all year around , like , literally every store have 2-3 variety at least(maybe expect penny) but everyone knows that the one with the sugar frosting is the best . Also , ironically i just had a knoppers commercail in tv a few hour ago before seeing your video.
haha yeah there are a lot of German supermarkets in Hungary it's crazy^^ frosted ones really are the best!
Hmm gute, Idee gutes Video 👍
As an Australian with German heritage I had no idea about the tea 😂 the cupboards you went through looked the same as what my Mum has and now everything makes more sense!
The first three chocolate products you showed I get at my local ADli here at christmas time :) I love all three of them :)
When I was a child (1960’s - 1970’s) at Christmas time only, we used to be able to get these little chocolate candies (usually sold individually) called “Ice Cubes” from Germany. They were the best tasting chocolates I’ve ever had. I miss them greatly. When I get a time machine, I’m going back to Christmas 1971 and buying the all!!!
Eiskonfekt you mean?
you can still get them in germany, but they are rarely for sale
Ibought them last winter in a Norma
As a German myself I have to fully agree
When I visited Bremen, I would always go to the Hachez store for souvenirs. Their chocolate is just great! My favourite in Germany. Good thing that it can be found in any Rewe.
And for tea - TeaGschwendner ❤ it's the best tea shop I've been to in Europe
Thank you for this!
I head to Germany next week and am excited to try some snacks and look into what I can bring back :)
Reisen is actually available and quite popular in Canada as well. I remember commercials for it on TV growing up!
I think it's worth mentioning Schnaps. That's what I take as gifts on trips to the US, high-end schnaps. Germany has wine regions (southwest), beer regions (southeast), and schnaps regions (everywhere else). They come in sweet varieties (pear, apricot, plum, raspberry, etc), herbal varieties (everywhere has its own kräuterlikör, often better than Jägermeister), and the downright crazy ones like Vogelbeere, Topinambur, or Enzian. My overall favorite is kind of Christmasy and from Austria: Zirben schnaps, made from pinecones.
Love your videos bro
Looks yummy
It is 🤤
Nice Video!
Great video, great idea! Snacs ARE perfect souvenirs, never realised that. The automatic subtitles on this video are so crazy though 😂
I love Riesen puns, even though I have no Riesen.
Yes, and herbal teas are very tasty
Useful video！！！❤❤❤
Im hungry now! great video .
Not only do I now know what to get when I go visit my home country, I know now what snacks to buy when my German friends come to visit
I always buy a whole loaf of bread when I return from Germany. It's possible, because I'm back in only a few hours. :D
"..in my head atleast"😂 yes in mine too haha
I have a basic table from flexspot, nice one 👍
😂😂 Best line " to make you fat"! Thanks for making it. Just by looking at this vid! 😂😂😂 Good work and acting as always! 😊 Keep going! You make my day ❤ Best youtube guy ever!
it´s true about wine! I love German wine, also from Rheinland-Pfalz region :)
I swear all I want when I have a cold is a bottle of cherry juice. Took me ages to find it in a Tesco in London somewhere covered in dust behind the dozens of brands of cranberry juice 😂
Once I hosted a Japanese exchange student and he kept eating different kinds of haribo every day with a sparkle in his eyes that there are much more different types available here and it's so so cheap compared to Japan. He definitely gained a couple of pounds in Germany. 😊
I brought a bunch of German candy to my Taiwanese friends last year. They LOVED the Knoppers!
I like this video... ❤❤❤❤
Bahlsen, Riesen & a few other German classics I buy often here in Tennessee.
Your snack preferences are so similar to the ones in Latvia. I always thought we have a best chocolate, we have hundreds tea varieties, lots of sausages, rye breads..and a beer is a traditional drink too, especially for summer time. If you haven't been there, you are very welcome to come, you will love it. :)
I would love to visit ❤
Latvian chocolate? No offense meant, but I hardly expect very high quality or special and unique tastes from Latvian chocolate. And why do you drink your bears?! They are such nice animals!
While it's somewhat doubtful given how long ago it was, I wonder whether there is a tiny cultural link there, what with the influence of the Livonian Order and the Teutonic Knights in Latvia in the medieval age. At least in regards to the sausages and beer at least.
Latvia and Germany had strong ties, back since the time of the livonian order. Maybe thats the root of those similarities? :)
My favorite souvenir to bring back from Germany is the Enigma code-book.
Ritter Sport is still selling in Russia. FYI.
Erdnuss Flips are the original. Aside from Nimm2, all of these are available in the UK (or at least in my corner).
You forgot Eiskonfekt! That is the best of all of them! And can't get that one in the UK shops...
Glad to know that you have as much tea as me! German standards are camomile, mint and rosehip. Every household has these.
Ice wine is German and very very good and a great gift.
Could also include bread - pumpernickel for instance!
You could have added a vegan section. Taifan make great products.
Veganz is great for vegan snacks 😋
That hat is so cool! I want it! 😂
I am Swedish. My mother lived in Germany before and she told me that in Germany they have licorice in like ”adults only” places in the shop and in pharmacists, while in Sweden its on the regular candy section. I’m only 14 and I can easily eat salt licorice
Yes
I love the square Ritter and Ritter sport. We can get it in Saskatchewan, Canada.😊
Can you make a video teaching about the different types of bread please, we are going to south Germany in June and we want to learn everything we can about Germany and the culture.
Oh !!! Thanks for this video too, it was very helpful 👍👍
OMG! Lebkuchen ❤ I grew up in Australia with our German family sending us Lebkuchen for Christmas.
We would like to see more videos like this. About getman food & places.
One souvenir from Germany I took was a picture of bread with raw ground beef with onions on it. It did not look appealing to me, but it is something I never saw outside Germany. I brought home vanilla tea and I am drinking a cup of it while I am writing this comment. The tea I got from Germany is really good.
Mettwurst yes.
It looks bad but its tastes good. But even I don't eat it often despite the heavy health regulations around it.
My main gripe is when Germans want to make a meat sculpture😅
Oh my dude lol that's not beef... it's raw ground pork. Seasoned, like raw sausage, and totally safe thanks to strict food handling laws and practices. Germans do know beef tartar of course, but the famous breakfast food you're referring to, smothered in raw onions usually... that's pork. Mettwurst. Often seen in hotel breakfast buffets or party platters with pretzel sticks stuck into it, so it looks like a hedgehog. "Mettigel". That's next-level though, most foreigners are too freaked out to try it.
Well, Bahlsen, Riesen, Knoppers, Lachgummis (all different kinds of them), Maoam and also the peanut snacks (maybe not that brand, couldn't properly see it here) are all pretty much standard in all grocery stores here in Austria ;D Okay, yeah, I admit, most things we have here are available in Germany and vice versa.
Your tea drawers look like mine, I probably have around 30 different teas at home ;D
Also yes, us Austrians love smoked sausages. I know I do. Also Leberwurst. I now want Leberwurst. At almost 2am with no way of getting some until at least Monday ;D
in my country we have kaufland and lidl and müller and DM so we have everything you mentioned with the addition of our local products which are already very much influenced by austrian culture (i know it's not the same but still) for several hundred years so basically everything you mention here is very familliar to me. i am just used to having all sorts of german products around the house, learning german in school watching german TV etc etc. Howerver the only thing you can't bring home as a souvenir is the way life is organized in germany, the way bureaucracy works despite it being slow, the way things happen on time, how public transportation works, how there is little to no corruption, the way people take care of communal property, quality of infrastructure.... if I could bring one of those things home I definitely would. I live in croatia of course.
You have DM?!
Not even the Netherlands have DM!
Servus ! Hmm, Paulaner, the man has taste! I also love it . Kellerbier is also one of my favorites!
Black gummy licorice candy is the best :)
Missing marzipan from the list. You can get in other countries too, but seems to be quite popular in Germany. And I love it!❤
Also, I'm originally from Latvia, and can relate with the tea loving culture. We keep dozens of different teas in our cupboards, as we believe that there's a tea for every illness. Although, many would disagree that actual tea is only made from the tea plant and the rest is herbal infusion.
Resins are one of my favorites I get them all the time here in America
Lebkuchen is really great in Winter!
We have Riesen in Canada… love it!😊
Der deutscheste Sommerdrink besteht aus halb extra starker Prinzessin Lillifee (kühlschrankkalt), halb extra lautes Sprudelwasser und der Saft einer Zitrone. Optional auf gefrorenen Wassermelonenstücken servieren, wenn es super heiss ist.
Found some Knoppers in Aldi. Sydney. Very nice.
German Lebkuchen are the best sort of gingerbread, that's true 👍. .I was totally crazy about them when I tried them first:)
Going to Berlin in June and I am really enjoying your videos... I have an Aldi near my home in Miami (USA) and I have seen some of these snacks here. We have Riesen here and also some Lebkuchen type cookies. LOVE THEM!!!
My favorite German sweets are different kinds of Marzipan produced by Zentis. If someone asks me what to bring from Germany I am always asking for Zentis. Its a really great snack. German wine is great too.
Riesen!❤! We have them in Maryland in the usa. Sooo love them😊
I want to try that peanut one! Nearly everything you showed looks good. Where can I get a snack box package? 😂
Most are well known and loved in my Polish hometown of Poznań/Posen 😍
My fav. One so far is the wafers one u mention. I would love that one better
I love almost all of them and sooo happy we can get them in the Netherlands too :)
It depresses me indeed, that I cannot get AUTODROPs (best Dubbel Dekkers) in Germany. ;-)
@@IsenbergerHerold Oeh those are great too indeed! Icould send you a box.. :)
This is very helpful. I love your content.. I wanna be in one of your videos! I hope to see you around shooting some videos around Berlin 😁
Three years ago it was Haribo Colorado, but now I'm more into Lachgummi Softies.
Knoooooppeerrrss! I love them!!!!!! I am in Madrid, it's interesting if I find them here or not🤩
I brought back some Rum-Koko candy, chocolate balls with rum inside. Kinda weird but kinda good. Don’t have this in America.
I really liked the Radler beer a lot!
I was in wine growing area near Stuggart saw many vineyards.
Yes, German chocolate is great!
Going to need to try some Reisen, see have that Here in Kansas
I’ve never been to Germany, yet somehow am the proud owner of FOUR lidded beer steins, gifted from friends who have.
They are fabricated from some kind of clay, with intricate historical designs of people dancing around.
If I were the artisan, I would have made the dancing figures nekked. I mean, how much fun would it be to drink out of a vessel with bare-assed revelers on it? 😂🎉
also recently found apfelwein - cool thing too. and tastes like a real wine, and not pitty a soda-like cider.
Hey Love the videos! English guy also living in Germany for about 12 years now. In Britain people only consider black or green tea to be real tea, and if you ask for green tea most people will look at you a bit strange. the majority of people in Britain when they say "tea" what they actually mean in black tea (usually pg tips [because it is the strongest]) often with milk in it. fruit teas aren't really considered tea, and they're rarely drank because there are a lot of different cordials and syrups to add to water to make it taste of fruit. Even though with just green or black tea you can still have hundreds of different types weather its assam or darjeling, oolong or gunpowder tea. i'm not saying i agree or disagree but it's just what i've noticed. I do like any tea though, tasty warm water :)
Thank you for the video. Definitely will bring some of there snacks back to the U.S. Will be my first time ever being in Europe. First trip will be to Gemany.
Thank you very much for visiting Germany for the first time. Have a great and safe trip. I wish you a good time and have fun🎉😊
Now I have to find that waffle choc Bahsen! Looks delicious! The Knoppers and Riesen luckily available around! Maoam brings childhood memories back! :) You have mentioned fat. Is there any local made "healthy" snacks?
It's called Maoam madness... I am proud of it since I was a kid, and still :)
Hey! At the 0:27 mark you pulled out my Opas hat! He was a German electrician 🥰 If only you had his neat outfit to go along you would look dapper!
good eye! 😄 and i do have the outfit, you'll see it in a future video 😋
@@RadicalLiving Wunderbar!.. but I must ask, I thought electricians were banned from Germany? That’s what my Opa told me when I asked why he moved to Ohio🤷🏻♂️ Maybe they’ve finally become more tolerant of those in the electrical arts!
Here in Missouri, you can buy Riesen and Knoppers. Both are very good.
Weizen Hefe (Wheat) beers are by far my favorite go-to ones. You can almost never go wrong with one of them. For quality and taste, Belgian ones usually are much stronger and with more variety.
